What make up the lungs?
The lungs and respiratory system allow oxygen in the air to be taken into the body. The lungs' main function is to help oxygen from the air we breathe enter red blood cells. Red blood cells then carry oxygen around the body to be used in the cells found in our organs and tissues such as the lungs.
What happens if your liver does not make blood?
Bone marrow makes blood cells, not the liver.
What cells make up almost half of the blood?
Red blood cells (erythrocytes) make up almost half of the blood. They are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and removing carbon dioxide.
Oxygenated blood from the lungs is recieved by the?
Basically, oxygen-rich blood is pumped from the heart and is carried to the body cells by the red blood cells. the red blood cells contain haemoglobin and this reacts with the oxygen in the blood to make oxyhaemoglobin. the oxygen is then separated from the haemoglobin and respiration occurs in your body cells. Carbon dioxide is made and is carried back to the right side of your heart and is pumped to the lungs to be exhaled
How do lungs make your blood pure?
The purpose of lungs is to introduce oxygen to the red blood cells in your blood, and to collect carbon dioxide to exhale. The red blood cells take the oxygen to all parts of the body. Therefore, the lungs don't "make your blood pure". However, one function of the liver is to detoxify chemicals in the bloodstream. Most harmful chemicals in the blood are changed by the liver to make them harmless. In addition, the kidneys filter out excess water and waste from the bloodstream to make urine. In this way, you could say the kidneys' primary function is to "purify" blood.
What make up the greatest portion of the blood?
Red blood cells make up the greatest portion of the blood. They are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and removing carbon dioxide.
What is the main job of the red cells in the blood?
Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the circulatory system, which allows the tissue cells to produce energy through aerobic respiration. The red blood cells pick up oxygen in the lungs and carry it through the arteries in the body to the tissues. When they reach the smallest vessels, capillaries, oxygen is easily dropped off and the cells make their way back to the heart and then into the lungs. They will continue this cycle for about 100-120 days. Because the body is always making new blood, it is safe, under most circumstances, to donate blood.
Are red blood cells the most common type of cell in your body?
Yes, the red blood cells are the most common type of blood cells, they are followed by white blood cells frequency. There are also, platelets, which aren't technically considered cells, but are more frequent than white blood cells and less frequent than red blood cells.
What atoms make blood?
Atoms make up everything. You may be thinking of cells. As far as cells, red blood cells and white blood cells make up blood.
Red blood cells make up almost half of?
Red blood cells make up almost half of the total volume of blood in the body. They are responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and removing carbon dioxide. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen and gives blood its red color.
What receives blood from the lungs?
Blood vessels comes in two forms, veins(carry deoxygenated blood), arteries(carry oxygenated blood) and capillaries? maybe, i am not sure if it is a form of blood vessel.

How does carbon dioxide get from your body cells into the air around you?
When your blood cells go to your lungs to get oxygen, they also release carbon to make room for the oxygen, then when you breath out, the carbon gets into the air.
